Saturday will feature all teams in pool play, leading into Sunday’s trophy rounds and
culminating in the crowning of the 2009 National Sevens Champion. All play
will take place at the Gaelic Athletic Association’s field at 11th Street and
Avenue H on Treasure Island. Saturday afternoon the Gaelic Athletic Association
will play the men’s final for Gaelic Football on the same field.

This year marks the inaugural Championship for Women’s Sevens, and will
coincide with the Men’s Sevens National Invitational Tournament, hosted by the
San Francisco Golden Gate Rugby Football Club, also on Treasure Island.

Creager, fresh from the US National Team, is serving as Competition
Coordinator. Creager notes “We are very pleased to be bringing the Inaugural
Women’s Sevens tournament to the San Francisco Bay Area, a hotbed of
American Rugby, and are honored to be hosted by the San Francisco Fog. It is
guaranteed to be a weekend full of great rugby.”

With origins that trace back to Scotland over 125 years ago, Rugby Sevens is a fast
paced, high action version of the more traditional 15-person game.
